Wobbly feed to say the least but the win was worth the E6.

Think someone forgot to turn the microphones back on after half time. First 10mins I had no sound either. Need to sort it out.

They need to sort this out. It's a very expensive service. I don't have a season pass, so pick and choose games. It's €12 per game. I am far from tight with money, but I think that is expensive. Should be €5

Ireland 

[Roverthechimp]

Ok - that explains it.

Can you access games on a saturday afternoon??

[philipl]

Hadn't realised they did country specific pricing but had noticed small price variations based on currency used. Ie watching on a Japanese or American server results in a £6 hit to the account. Just been glad to be able to watch from behind the the great Chinese firewall but most definitely will not be chosing the Dublin VPN host!

Same price in Malta as in Sweden- suggests that Irish pricing is breaking EU Law.

Sky are in Ireland so that puts them on UK level for iFollow access and pricing.

I only use a Free Pass account on iFollow to buy matchday passes when I'm near decent internet.

The plus of the Free Pass account is free extended highlights of all games and a library of them.

I can, but I need to use a VPN. I think I picked the states as location the time it cost me €12.

Husky - yes, I see these numbers from time to time also, and I did see them during the QPR game just like your screenshot.

[Husky]

How many ****ing times!! 

Leave! Camera! Microphone! ON!?

This is ridiculous

Camera Mic > Commentary from the toilet block courtesy of clumsy mic lead puller.

So, I'm back in East Lancs in time for the game for the first time in ages (it seemed to be International week every other time). BUT as Preston are essentially a classic 3rd/4th division club - with ground to boot - they can't accommodate our vast army of away followers.

I have the iFollow subscription for 'ex-pats', but that won't work in the UK. Any ideas of a free VPN (the one I was using stopped it's free service the other day) which will allow me to at least stream the game?

Failing that who's got a spare ticket up for grabs? ?

Poor once again. Visuals are ahead of the commentary which is really noticable and irritating.

If it was being shown live in the States think it would be on ESPN +, but according to this only being shown live on TV in Australia*

*Edit, now showing as  live in loads of countries

New commentary?!

They started with the Rovers duo but switched to the Wednesday commentary in the first minute.

Was it Wednesday commentary? Sounded neutral to me. I found him far better, with lines such as Williams is a fans' favourite at Ewood Park.

From that it sounds like it was the same TV commentary that we got in Au, 

[Mattyblue]

Weren’t we the main international game today? So I assume they’ll have used the neutral commentators from that feed.

[AllRoverAsia]

I watched the SW game live via a good stream.

Single and good English commentary with multiple camera angles and replays.

Today a Sheff Utd supporting pal texted to congratulate and said he'd also watched the game live on local cable tv in Chiang Mai which had also shown SU v Leeds the previous day. Apparently this channel shows lots of the Championship and not only those from Sky. I suspect he got a local commentary though.
